and to answer the durability thing...

It's metal. lol.

The stock valve tends to break the "legs" and snap in half as more and more rounds are fired. THis is further exasterbated by the full auto setting because the floating valve will have to continually open and close as the slide cycles...


That's why I say it's durable.

Yeah.. THey taste like....like...like...lemonade on a hot summer day....

Funny thing is that their metal version is out of production and their latest version is plastic now (looks like derlin to me, which is more resistant than regular plastic) why do you think they went for a plastic one for the G18 for next gen? Because all the other firefly floating valves for the other guns are still in aluminum :-\

I have the plastic version on route to my doorstep.
I think I'm going to use my gun abusively until explodes killing millions.

Until then, I am in the market for another inner barrel. Well, one that won't eat my nineball bucking.

I'm debating if I should put in the piston head. http://www.evike.com/products/42432/

It looks really nice. I keep glancing at it.

I've been reading about those Tania Kobe barrels for years now but my itchy money spending finger is looking at pdi, id hate to have bucking eaten though.

Bison burgers, pictures of Bill Murray in a old Russian military uniform, long spouse showers, exploding slides..' TM Glock owners... lol


My gf is sick of seeing me touch my glock, she keeps glock blocking me.

Dude you have a tm G18 right? That piston head is good for G17 but not G18 the shape of the G18 piston is not the same! Dont order this! For inner barrel on Tokyo-Model.com.hk the Glock Tanio koba one is $40. It's worth it. It is arguably the most accurate inner barrel, you can loose a bit of fps (10 fps lower give or take compared to a 6.01) but who cares when it is more accurate? I am gonna try to see if the pdi w hold is better in term of accuracy to the Nineball purple one. Just got it today! Fucking money pit that Glock pimping hobby! Hehehe

Yeah TM G18c, I ended up getting that 6.01 Angel Custom one from Evike.
I ordered that piston head on accident it was really late and I cancelled the order too late.
Money pit indeed.

Edit: I forgot to add that I saw I loading nozzle break today. Not my own Glock thankfully.
I remember him saying he was using green gas but so was I.

Looking at the loading nozzle, how does one break it?

I love The Detonics too, I have a full upgraded ore, shot with It ove 10000bb's and It works Like a charm. If someone want to open a Detonics building thread you Can count on me

Usually the recurrent loading nozzle breaking happen more on the g18c because of the full auto function. It is putting more stress on it. Btw ordering parts from Asia the shipping rates are equal or lower than from ordering from the USA and most of the time your item arrives faster too... Angel custom is the Evike brand... it is nothing to write home about. I once ordered an Angel custom parts and the performance /fitting was sub par. Hopefully that this barrel is better quality and works out for you!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me links/info/pics of your detonics. to be very honest, i know very little about the platform, and went right to Brian (ILLusion on here) to get advice on what to modify etc.

I WILL build it, oh yes i will. perhaps not right away, but it will be done!!!! i ADORE that pistol.

as for the G19 (larger and more modifyable than the G26, and therefore more powerful) i think this will be my next build. i simply cannot do a full size pistol, it must be compact-subcompact for my tastes. (plus my son is not even 11 yrs old yet, so smaller pistols are easier for him to hold.)

KAR120, did we ever get to the issues with your mags?

It could be a host of things really.

Delrin is actually easier to manipulate on the machines than ABS.
So from a manufacturing perspective, it's probably easier for them to mass produce than say...aluminum. But then again, Delrin is pretty expensive.

From a functionality point of view, even though it's "plastic", its almost the most perfect substitute for aluminum. Delrin is very high in density, making it almost equally resistant to impact as aluminum...

Is there any way to protect the loading nozzle?
It made me afraid to not use full auto.
Out of every 10 mags cycled, I fire one full auto.

A friend of mine who uses his glock sparingly told me not to use full auto but f that I got this for a reason.

The nozzle breaking can be a result of the brittleness of the material making up the nozzle. I heard and experienced many guarder nozzles breaking from several to hundreds of rounds. The also thing to be mindful of, is any misalignment the nozzle may have with the rest of the gun. Guarder ones break fairly easily, so I suggest resorting to other brands including:

AABB
AIP
Pro&T

Surprisingly, my stock G18C nozzle has survived thousands of rounds on continuous high pressure from my compressor.

If you can a WE G18C, your nozzle WILL break because they actually use a steel nozzle guide that is so long that is breaks the nozzle tab during the slide cycle, causing the nozzle return spring to jam, resulting in the slide not being able to reset properly. This is a serious problem, and I can honestly and literally say that I have fixed ~30 of WE G18C's as part of my work as a gun tech.

please send information and pix to me via PM. i am not on facespace, mybook, tweet-0-gram, pinster, naptrest, or any of those "social" BS sites.
